Today we had a special visitor to our school who talked to us about cycling safely. She explained how to check our helmet fits correctly and being safe and seen by using lights and wearing high viz jackets. The boys and girls in junior infants are a very wise lot and knew all the rules to stay safe on their bikes and scooters.
After the success of our Kandinsky based sculptures we decided to paint and print using a variety of lines and colours. Have a look at our fabulous work in room 3!
Today we experiment with items that float and sink. Why don’t you try it at home?

Today Ms .Boyd visited all the classrooms to do an experiment using water, raisins and 7Up. It’s call the Dancing Raisin experiment. Can you remember how it works? Try it at home!
Mr. McCormack and Sam started off Science Week with a bang splash this year. Mr. McCormack is a scientist and Sam’s dad.
They visited each class and did some really exciting experiments including an optical illusion (with a pig!), a bucket and some water to explain gravity and and a special glass ball to teach us about electricity. Thank you both very much.
++Stay tuned to see what we get up to each day of Science Week++
Hello everybody and welcome to the 3rd month of the school year. It’s been a busy one here in Junior Infants. We’ve all settled in really well and getting to know each other.
The boys and girls in room 3 are great fun and truly magnificent artists. Today we talked about line and shape and we looked at some paintings by Kandinsky (room 1 did too!). We used these as inspiration to create colourful sculptures. Here’s a sneak peek…
